From the first moment, something inside me knew I was going to like Hoi An. I had a feeling. Without realizing it, I had been looking forward to getting to know the city almost from the moment we entered Vietnam<\/a><\/strong>. In fact, I had already fallen in love with it when Toni started telling me about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, it\u2019s true, everyone talks about how beautiful the old town is, with its port, quaint streets, shops, and overall charm. But it’s also true that others describe it as a very touristy or artificial city that resembles an oriental theme park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know why I decided to believe the positive reviews, and instead of being disappointed, which often happens when you have high expectations of a place, I ended up falling in love with Hoi An. I couldn\u2019t get enough of wandering around, having coffee, or getting lost in its shops and souvenir stands, even though I had no intention of filling my backpack with trinkets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it\u2019s because I already knew what to expect, or perhaps because I had been experiencing authenticity from a country far less spoiled than I had been led to believe during my motorbike trip. Yes, Hoi An may not be the most authentic place you\u2019ll find in Vietnam, but it certainly has its charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
